Background

In August of 2000, just prior to the Democratic National Convention, Hollywood elites gathered in Los Angeles for an event designed to pay tribute to outgoing President Bill Clinton, while also raising funds for Hillary Rodham Clinton¹s New York Senate bid. The Clintons and their campaign staff had induced Peter Paul, then co-founder of Stan Lee Media, to underwrite the event. Mr. Paul kept his end of the bargain, financing a star-studded celebrity gala to the tune of $2 million -- the largest single contribution to a Senate campaign in American history. Hillary Clinton failed to report the campaign contributions generated from the event to the Federal Election Commission (including Mr. Paul’s $2 million, plus an additional $1.5 million raised that evening) a serious violation of election law. Mr. Paul is currently in a Brazilian jail cell awaiting extradition for alleged stock fraud charges. Upon his return, the case will continue. Meanwhile, Mr. Paul seeks to cooperate with the Justice Department having already provided evidence that could eventually land the Clintons in prison. Following are actual copies of written and photographic evidence compiled by Mr. Paul, and provided to Justice Department investigators.

* Handwritten Letter from Bill Clinton

* Handwritten Letter from Hillary Clinton

* Bank Statement

* Photos

Relevance

After the event, when allegations of campaign finance fraud began to surface, Hillary Clinton not only denied that Mr. Paul had financed and hosted the event, she also stated on multiple occasions that she and her husband did not know Mr. Paul personally. As the handwritten notes, photos and bank records clearly suggest, the Clintons had intimate knowledge of Mr. Paul’s role in producing the event, and further had established a personal relationship with him.

Update

On June 18, the Los Angeles Times reported that the federal investigation of the Clinton fundraising event was heating up. Investigating authorities have focused attention on Aaron Tonken, the Clintons’ volunteer Hollywood talent coordinator and fundraiser. Tonken was among the team of individuals that persuaded Mr. Paul to underwrite the event. The recent spike in interest in this matter on the part of the Justice Department follows a campaign by Judicial Watch to push Congress to probe why justice officials are dragging their feet on the investigation. A Brazilian court recently ruled that Mr. Paul can be extradited to the United States. Upon his return, Judicial Watch’s legal actions against the Clintons will continue.
